Normally the opensource driver cause overheating problem. Could you verify if you entered the command

Code:

amdconfig --initial -f

It creates a xorg.conf file with AMD proprietary drivers definitions. Should help on overheating problem.

Re: AMD/Intel Hybrid Graphics works

hi guys, help needed
I was trying to install ATI dual graphics on my HP dm4 2000 (GPU's are in the supported list) using the tutorial on the first page and after the very first reboot I've got the message regarding the low graphics mode because of incorrectly configured drivers. I'm stuck here with the two options:
-proceed to terminal mode with unconfigured hardware.
-roll back to a stock drivers and get a blank desktop.
Let me know pls, what's went wrong here, and how can I get my dual graphics ?
Thnx

Please everyone with Intel+AMD Hybrid Graphic cards READ this:

As many installation instructions available on the web, it's difficult do find out the best procedure to install Intel+AMD Hybrid cards and put them to work flawlessly. Due to this, I made a lot of research and I've built my own procedure for this installation on Linux Systems. I've tested it on Ubuntu based systems 13.04+ (Xubuntu, Linux Mint 15 and Stock Ubuntu) and worked very well. 13.8 beta 1 driver used, please try by your own other drivers and post results.

However, regarding many different laptop/desktop manufacturers available over there, it's quite difficult to affirm if this procedure will work to everyone... I hope so and PLEASE, post if it worked for you or NOT (and let us help you)

The following installation instructions are was made by me as a collection, involving lots of instructions available in the Web and documentations (References available on the bottom)...

BEFORE:*It is recommended to install is on a fresh ubuntu 13.04 based install
*make sure you have no AMD fglrx driver installed:

Code:

sudo apt-get remove --purge fglrx*

*Make sure your AMD discrete GPU is ACTIVATED through vgaswitcheroo:

Code:

sudo su
echo ON > /sys/kernel/debug/vgaswitcheroo/switch
exit

1 - Prepare the system to proprietary AMD driver manual installation, installing prerequisites on the system, to help to compile and create the correct amd driver according to your system. So, to install the driver compiler prerequisites, execute the following command in terminal:

2 - Install Intel Linux Graphics Installer
BEFORE AMD driver installation we have to install latest Intel driver. However, latest intel driver isn't available on Ubuntu repositories as default, so we have to install it through Intel linux Graphics Installer. This tool is developed by intel and supports latest Ubuntu version by default.NOTE: Please read carefully Intel Linux Graphics Installer 2013Q2 webpage for complete notes and download it to other distributions and other Ubuntu versions:https://01.org/linuxgraphics/downloa...-version-1.0.2

2.3 - After rebooting just install Intel Linux Graphics Installer Public Key to trust on Intel repository for future updates:"In order to "trust" the Intel® Linux Graphics Installer, you will need to add keys to Ubuntu's software package manager ("apt"). Open a terminal, and execute these line:"

Re: AMD/Intel Hybrid Graphics works

I've been studying this issue for a long time, thanks to your post, i have successfully installed both amd and intel driver, and both in direct rendering . Now my laptop is much cooler.
I'll test HDMI output as soon as i get an HDMI wire.
ps. Under ubuntu 13.04, after i manually installed AMD discrete driver and reboot, i fall into this bug:https://bugs.launchpad.net/fglrx/+bug/1068661. but anyway this post works under 12.04.2, thanks a lot!Here's my result:
